Oral Yeast Infections - What Are They?
An oral yeast infection is an infection which occurs in the oral cavity or mouth and is also known as thrush.
It is characterized by the presence of raised white curd-like flecks on the various mucus membrane structures of the mouth.
It is caused by an increase in the Candida yeast which normally inhabit warm moist areas of the body.
There are several varieties of yeast that live normally in the human body and are kept under control by advantageous bacteria found in the digestive tract.
These bacteria cause the yeast to manufacture vitamins for the body such as the B complex vitamins.
When the intestinal bacteria become varied, they cause the fungus species to mutate or change into Candida releasing poisons into the body.
These potent poisons are known as mycotoxins which can then attack the various regions of the body causing ailments and restricting the functioning of the immune system.
This suppression of the immune system allows the yeast to spread their contagion to other parts of the body, such as the mouth, resulting in an oral yeast infection.
Other examples of oral yeast infections or thrushes result in a white-coated tongue and usually result in halitosis or bad breath.
This can be determined by simply looking in the mirror at the tongue and noting its condition.
This oral yeast infection should be tested when you first awaken in the morning, prior to drinking coffee, brushing the teeth, or drinking water.
The reason for doing this checking when you first wake up is due to the fact that the fungus is more prevalent in the mouth at this time.
Waiting until after taking a shower, drinking, or brushing your teeth will result in a negative test for the presence of the Candida yeast.
If you will wait approximately fifteen minutes later, the expectoration, or saliva test, can be performed.
One just needs to work up a wad of saliva and spit it into a glass of water.
If the white fades away or disperses, then one does not have a Candida yeast infection.
However, if the expectorant becomes murky, has fingers and strands, is spider web-like, or drops to the bottom, then it is likely that you do have a Candida oral yeast infection.
If you wait for approximately half an hour later and you note that there is a brown deposit on the undersurface of the glass, then you also have parasites which need to be addressed.
These parasites are easily detectable and normally evident within the first five minutes of the testing.
There are many drugs available for an oral yeast infection cure.
Among these are Nystatin, Amphotericin B, Ketoconazole, Candicine, and Triazoles, all of which can be prescribed by your physician.
